Morrissey kicks off 2026 by cancelling more shows. Italian date set for March

Morrissey kicks off 2026… by going back to cancelling shows. It's a practice that has long accompanied his live activity and that has become especially frequent in recent months. To name just the most recent cases: in September, the cancellation of the Ottawa show following a threat received on Bluesky; in October, the cancellation of a Turkish date amid controversy over his support for Israel; in November, the halting of the entire South American tour due to “extreme exhaustion”; and in December, finally, the unexplained cancellation of his first concert in the Dominican Republic. Now it's California's turn.

The former frontman of the Smiths was due to perform on January 3rd at the Agua Caliente Casinos in Rancho Mirage, but the venue's website reports an indefinite postponement due to "an adverse reaction to a prescribed medication". The show scheduled for Tuesday, January 6th at the Civic Theater in San Diego has also been cancelled, as confirmed by the theatre's official website.

At the moment, the next concert on the calendar remains the January 10th date at the Boeing Center at Tech Port in San Antonio, Texas, a rescheduling of the date originally set for May 8th. 

The new tour by the former singer of the Smiths is also expected to make a stop in Italy. Following last summer's shows, Morrissey will return to perform in Italy on March 9th, 2026 at the Fabrique in Milan, the only Italian date of his new tour.
